Hello,

Due to persistent infection you are suffering from weight loss.
However, we need to rule out for the possibility of any neoplastic growth in the kidney.

Tell me one thing you have any blood in urine. It is better to visit an emergency room for urine culture. you may also need a biopsy. There is nothing to worry as your problem is targeted properly you will relieve from it.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Soheel Hussain Zargar,
